Looks like mine when I had my wheels on (Concept one Visions 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 back)
the highway ride was too rough so I am switching to 18's even all around.

I need a little advice as to what sort of set up is recommended for up here in the North East, I had an offset going on (19x8.5, 19x.9.5) ride was too rough cuz of the offset. I just wanna stiffen up the car and set it up for long term use. I want something over 18"

I'm looking at 18x8.75F +33 with 225/40 and 18x9.75R +20 with 255/40. I'm not lowered and not going to slam it either. Will there be any rubbing issues you guys would be aware of? I do plan on doing Eiabach pro kit with this setup. Thanks for the help.

You might need to roll your fender on the rear due to aggressive offset. I am thinking about the same set up like you have too lol.

Yeah I was thinking I may have to do that which is no problem. Think I'm going to hold out till I get Megan coil overs before I lower it. Just looking for a clean look.

@Vroomin350

do you remember what your wheels specs / offsets & camber settings were to make this all work?

I tried to PM, but your inbox was full. Thanks!

Ive been trying to find a pic of an 18x10.5+20 up front? if not I'm gonna just go with 18x9 same offset. Anyone? I found 18x10+18's on rim tuck but i'll have that extra half an inch… Oh and I'm not afraid of a roll and stretch
